No it doesn't. It's simple faith.
Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness, BEFORE he did any works.
It doesn't tell us that the righteousness was credited to him after he did works.
In the story of Abraham on the way to sacrifice Isaac it is interesting to note that Abraham told those with him in the entourage to wait at the foot of the mopunt and THEY would retrun to them shortly. In saying THEY, he was referring to only himself and Isaac. This tells us that Abraham believed God in His Promise that in Isaac the wordl would have Abraham’s descendants as numerous as the sands of the seashore. THAT is believing, putting your faith in God even to the point of giving your son of Promise knowing God will keep His Promises even if Abraham couldn’t figure out how. He was confident that THEY would come down off that mount to rejoin the entourage.
So it doesn’t take any effort (or work) to think, reason, act and accept faith in Jesus?
Are you a robot or just a denier?
God stopped the action He requested of Abraham before he completed the task. Abraham did the will of God. That is what God asks of us.
